We are very pleased to announce that Milk & Cake Press is now a 501c3 nonprofit arts organization. We felt that nonprofit status aligned well with our mission. Not much will change as a result–we will still be publishing books and hosting readings for our poets (and sometimes, our friends). Going forward, we may expand our activities into community outreach, workshops, and more.

We will also be able to apply for grants and take donations–more on that later.

Did you read our Dead of Winter Anthology last year and love it? Well, we made another one! It’s available here.

What’s that? You didn’t read last year’s version? Well, we have some copies left over here!

(Both covers are linoleum prints by Jonathon Scharf.)

A new anthology, I Wanna Be Loved by You: Poems on Marilyn Monroe, edited by Susana H. Case and Margo Taft Stever, will be arriving soon, and is now available for. Grab a copy now!

 This hybrid chapbook of lyric essays, poems, and photographs by Don Krieger explores the intersections between personal history, scientific discovery, and modern-day politics. By turns surprising, humorous, angry, and touching, Krieger offers an engaging take on the last fifty years of American life.
